Nigerians, across the country, are no doubt facing difficult times owing to the current economic recession. Although the President Muhammadu Burari’s -led administration has been applauded for its fight against corruption, following several arrests of the acclaimed high and mighty, and subsequent refund of stolen funds, the management of the economy has not brought similar cheering news.
The tough times have resulted in job losses and hunger-induced crimes. The petty crimes are increasing nationwide. In fact, crime rate in the country is presently assuming a worrisome dimension with the introduction of new device by criminals in order to get their victims and security agencies unawares.

Kanu made this known through his lawyers, led by Ifeanyi Ejiofor and Amoebi Nzelu, while reacting to the government’s decision on Thursday to release some members of the group who were arrested in February, saying they were not opposed to talks with the government.
“Nnamdi Kanu is not averse to political solution in resolving his present politically orchestrated ordeal,” Mr. Ejiofor said. “He welcomes genuine political solution to this case. Nnamdi Kanu has people of proven integrity and impeccable character that will negotiate on his behalf, based on his demands when communication on this effect is established.”

Magu started well. Ribadu had so much zeal, the public treated his penchant for flagrant transgression of rights with levity. Magu is a great improvement on Ribadu. Ribadu attended to widespread rot with uncommon but unchecked enthusiasm. And the public responded with uncritical goodwill and doting adoration. That honeymoon era is gone. After Ribadu, the EFCC lapsed into willful docility. Farida’s agency fell into the hands of its enemies. And they smothered it.
Corruption then was treated with the sort of sympathy normally reserved for addictions.
An acquiescence that recognized helpless inevitability and left hopelessness. An abdication of responsibility that hid itself behind the curtains of self serving realism. Corruption was assumed cultural, and so to fight it boldly, required measurable hypocrisy. That alone can explain the cavalierism . Because the fight against corruption is not for the saint alone.

At the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference last week in San Antonio, United States, ExxonMobil commercial adviser Ken Golden was of the view that the calls for ban on fossil fuels for now were unrealistic. Examining global energy trends, Golden was of the view that though fossil fuels use posedanger to climate change,the clamour for alternative and renewable fuels in wind and solar would contribute less than 3 percent of global energy use by 2040.
He said the fossil fuels of oil, gas and coal would still contribute about 80 percent by 2040, though the use of coal would reduce considerably. Althoughhe gave the impression that his position was not that of his corporation, his opinion that it was not feasible to contemplate a ban of fossil fuels may not be radically different. Excerpt of ExxonMobil’s statement on 2015 Paris Conference of Parties (COP21) was that they encouraged policy makers to develop mechanisms that would focus on reducing the greatest amount of emissions at the lowest cost to society.

Nigeria coach Samson Siasia said on Friday that he will support players boycotting Saturday’s football quarter-final against Denmark over unpaid allowances.
“We have only been paid allowances for 11 days. There is no match bonus. What about all the months we have been training in Nigeria and Atlanta? That’s not fair,” Siasia told Nigerian radio.
Nigeria have been embroiled in one crisis after another during the Rio Games. They were stranded for several days at their training base in Atlanta before flying to Brazil, and then the players had to beg Siasia not to quit after a win over Sweden.
Your Clutters Sent Your Spouse To The Next Room By Elizabeth Badejo
Last week, I mentioned some of the possible reasons more now couples sleep in separate rooms and why it may be necessary in some marriages as long as there is an understanding and it’s in the interest of the couple. In the course of my interactions with some ardent readers during the week, mostly men to be precise; I discovered that some women’s bad habits have deliberately forced their husbands to sleep in separate rooms.
Most women have more material possessions than their spouse from time immemorial and as they settle into their marital homes, they continue to possess more through the acts of buying wanted and unwanted clothes, shoes, gifts, bits and pieces, which can sometimes become clutters around the bedroom.
Throw out the clutters

When President Muhammadu Buhari hosted State House correspondents to a lunch on May 30 as part of activities marking his one year in office, he gave us a clear mandate. The presidential mandate was that we should be grilling all those who come to the Villa to meet with him.
The President did not mince words in telling us to always do researches on his guests with a view to asking them critical questions. In doing that, Buhari said his guests too would be forced to do their homework well before coming to face us.
That was the stroke we have been applying to guests at the Villa since that encounter with the President. We usually apply “subtle blackmail” for those who do not want to speak with us by telling them that the President directed us that we must interview all his guests. He actually gave that directive.
When Marriage Is Not The Answer… By Chukwuneta Oby

One who is not ready to face his /her reality, seeks answers in the wrong places.
A lot of the times you think ‘not having a spouse’ is the issue, is actually when you don’t need one.
Emotional readiness is what should propel you towards marriage and only then can you give it your best shot.
When unemployed, what you need most is a job/skill acquisition and not marriage. There is a fulfillment that ‘having a job’ gives you; that is even when you don’t begin to feel sorry for yourself or depressed anytime you have issues with your better half.
Except you have a solid arrangement with your spouse to be otherwise, please get off your behind and go find something doing. Go back to school (if you have to) to retrain yourself. The men in this category are most pathetic. A man is not wired to be catered for by a woman; otherwise your manliness chips off any time you let that happen to you. And you must not be as comfortable as your woman, to make efforts to bring something to the table.
Ondo poll: APC Leaders, Aspirants Reject Tinubu’s Candidate
Aggrieved All Progressives Congress leaders and governorship aspirants in Ondo State have rejected Mr. Segun Abraham as the anointed candidate of the party’s national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
They asked Tinubu to allow the APC governorship primary scheduled for August 27 to hold as planned and let the popular candidate emerge through a democratic process.
The aspirants said the plan by Tinubu to sponsor and endorse Abraham for the purpose of imposing him on them would derail the seamless and democratic process aimed at selecting the party’s candidate by delegates.
